When using xdm, put a line in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers like my last line: # $XConsortium: Xserv.ws.cpp,v 1.3 93/09/28 14:30:30 gildea Exp $ # # Xservers file, workstation prototype # # This file should contain entries to start the servers on the # local machine; # X servers are automatically added to this file by the Debian # xbase and xserver configuration scripts. :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -bpp 16
This will always run xdm with 16 bits. I don't know how to run lower depth only apps at a higher depth. John Paul -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble? E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
